[2.0][3.0] Deep Dungeon - Palace of the Dead has been added.The Palace of the Dead is an ever-changing dungeon whose architecture is never quite the same each time players enter to explore its depths. All players will begin at level one, and only by fighting the enemies within will they be able to gain the strength and experience needed to reach the final floor. For those stout-hearted adventurers who have decided to take the plunge: be sure to ready your aetherpool armor and arms because in this spectral labyrinth, it may be your only hope of making it out in one piece.

Players who choose to leave and return later can continue playing from where they last saved. We challenge all who enter to make it to the last floor!

Players will be granted access to the first 50 floors in patch 3.35. Please note, however, that players who have not purchased FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward may only play up to floor 40, and players currently on the free trial may only play up to floor 10.

Entry RequirementsQuest Required Level and LocationThe House That Death Built Disciple of War or Magic level 17New Gridania (X:12.0 Y:13.1)NPC: Nojiro MarujiroPlayers must first complete the main scenario quest "Into a Copper Hell."

RulesThe Palace of the Dead employs a set of rules unique to the deep dungeon.

Character GrowthPlayers will start at level 1 regardless of their current class or job level. By defeating monsters that appear in the dungeon, players will be able to gain EXP and level their characters up to 60. The levels gained in progression of the dungeon, however, will not be the same as what players will receive upon clearing. (See Below)* Players currently on their free trial or who have not yet purchased FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward will also be able to level their characters to 60 inside the Palace of the Dead.

Dungeon EXPAll enemies players encounter in the Palace of the Dead will give a fixed amount of EXP regardless of the number of members in your party or the difference in level between you and the enemy. Rested experience and experience bonuses will also be ignored.* Attribute points will not be accounted for in the Palace of the Dead.

ActionsThere will be no adjustments to or restrictions on any actions, additional actions, or statuses. However, players must first reach the required level in the dungeon to have access to them. Players will even have the opportunity to gain actions and statuses above their current level regardless of whether or not they have completed the necessary class or job quests.* Please note that players who have entered the deep dungeon with a class will be restricted from using any job actions.

Aetherpool GearPlayers will be restricted to the use of an aetherpool arm and aetherpool armor when inside the Palace of the Dead. In addition to gaining levels, players must enhance these items as they progress through the dungeon. Note that aetherpool armor will take the appearance of your current gear upon entering the instance.* Normal gear has no effect on your character's attributes inside the Palace of the Dead.

Strengthening Aetherpool GearAetherpool gear can be enhanced by accessing silver coffers. These coffers appear randomly on each floor and after defeating certain enemies. When enhancing gear, there is a chance of failure that varies depending on the current level of your gear and the floor where the silver coffer is found. Aetherpool gear can be enhanced to a maximum strength of +30. In the event the strength of your aetherpool gear exceeds the maximum allowed by your current level, its attributes will be synced.

Gear Durability and SpiritbondingAetherpool gear is not subject to durability loss, nor can it gain spiritbond when inside the Palace of the Dead.* This also applies to any gear equipped upon entering the instance.

PomanderPlayers will, on occasion, obtain pomanders from treasure chests within the Palace of the Dead. These items have various uses ranging from displaying the entire map of your current floor, to providing party members with beneficial effects. Up to three of each pomander can be held at any time. These items can be found in a shared inventory to be used by all party members.* Normal items such as potions can still be used independently of this shared inventory.

Pomanders cannot be taken outside of the Palace of the Dead. When in a matched party, they cannot be used after the completion of a set of floors. Pomanders that affect the map cannot be overwritten with the same item when their effect is already in play. Please note, however, that they will still be consumed upon use.

Certain pomanders can be used to transform the player into an enemy NPC. The effect lasts for one minute, and will grant the user a different attack for the duration.

Recording ProgressBoss enemies will appear every 10 floors. Upon defeating them, players will be able to record their progress, at which time they may choose to leave the deep dungeon. Please note that progress made in strengthening aetherpool arms and armor is saved independently and shared across all save data. See below for more details regarding the management of save data.* Save data will not be updated in the event you log out or lose connection before defeating the boss and recording your progress.

Entering the Palace of the DeadPlayers can enter the Palace of the Dead by speaking with the Wood Wailer expeditionary in the South Shroud at Quarrymill (X:25.2 Y:20.6). When entering as a party, only the party leader can start the instance.

Fixed PartyPlayers may enter with a group of up to four players, with no restrictions to classes, jobs, or roles.

Entering as a Fixed PartyAfter speaking with the Wood Wailer expeditionary, select "Enter the Palace of the Dead," then choose an unused save slot. Next, select "Enter with a fixed party." All future forays into the Palace of the Dead must be done with the party members and party composition chosen upon registering.

Party CompositionWhen creating a fixed party, players are free to choose any combination of jobs and classes they desire.

Resuming PlayPlayers in a fixed party must have uniform save data. Moreover, this save data can only be used with the party members and party composition chosen when first entering the Palace of the Dead.

Matched PartySimilar to the Duty Finder, players may choose to be randomly matched with other players on the same data center. Matched parties will always be comprised of four players. When registering with less than four players, any open party slots will be filled automatically.

Entering as a Matched PartyAfter speaking with the Wood Wailer expeditionary, select "Enter the Palace of the Dead," then choose an unused save slot. Next, select "Enter with a matched party." All future forays into the Palace of the Dead must be done with the class or job chosen when first registering.

Party CompositionPlayers in matched parties are free to choose any composition of jobs and classes they desire. It is not necessary to register with the same players each time. However, you must use the class or job you selected when first registering as a matched party.

Resuming PlayPlayers will be matched with party members who have the same floor progression saved. In order to be matched, players must enter with the same class or job that was equipped when progression was first saved. Furthermore, aetherpool weapons and gear strength must be above the requisite for the given floor.

Players can join a party in progress by first checking the "Join Party in Progress" box in the Duty Finder menu, then speaking with the Wood Wailer expeditionary.* Character level may be adjusted when joining a party in progress.

ProgressionMoving to the Lower FloorsFloors are generated at random, and players may only progress by locating and activating the Cain of Passage stone on each floor. These stones have three phases, and will always be inactive when arriving at a new floor. Players must defeat the enemies that appear on the floor before the stone can be fully activated. As the phases progress, the color of the stone's icon on the map will change, and the perimeter around the stone will glow when it becomes fully activated.

ResurrectionIn addition to resurrection items and actions, players can use a Cairn of Return to raise all KO'd players. These stones, like the Cairn of Passage, have three phases of activation and can only be used when fully activated. The stone will be inactive when arriving at a new floor. Players must defeat the enemies that appear on the floor before the stone can be fully activated. As the phases progress, the color of the stone's icon on the map will change, and the stone itself will glow when it becomes fully activated.

Traps and Floor EffectsAs players progress, they will arrive at floors with traps that will be set off when walked across. These traps are invisible unless a player has a special item which can reveal their locations. In addition to traps, some floors have the below effects which may benefit or provide some challenge to the player's ability to progress:

Prohibited Magic or Special ActionsSome floors may prohibit certain actions.

Floor Effect: GloomSome floors may have strengthened enemies.

Navigation MapA special navigation map will be displayed, which can be used to progress through the rooms on a given floor. When any party member enters a room on the floor, the map will automatically update. The icons for the Cairn of Return and the Cairn of Passage will appear in their location on the map.* Players can display or hide the map by pressing the M key. This is the same key for the Hold button to lock the map in position.* The default navigational map will not be displayed in the Palace of the Dead.

Icon Description Cairn of Passage is inactive Cairn of Passage is nearing activation Cairn of Passage is activated Cairn of Return is inactive Cairn of Return is nearing activation Cairn of Return is activated

Treasure CoffersThere are three types of treasure coffers which will randomly appear somewhere on the floor at the same time as enemies. While most of these coffers will give players various benefits, some will have traps, such as surprise enemy attacks.

Gold CoffersGold Coffers may yield pomanders. The coffer will remain even if these items already exceed the inventory limit.

Silver CoffersSilver Coffers will strengthen aetherpool arms and armor. However, opening these coffers will have no effect if the players' weapons and gear are at their maximum level of strength. In addition, even if players' weapons and gear are not at maximum level, there is a possibility that the strengthening effects will not take hold even after opening the coffer. Weapons (including shields), and gear will be strengthened individually, and depending on the player.

Bronze CoffersBronze Coffers may yield normal items such as potions or Gelmorran potsherds which can be exchanged for special items.

Leaving the Palace of the DeadIf all party members are KO'd inside the Palace of the Dead, they will be removed from the instance.* Unlike other dungeons, players cannot choose to return to the floor entrance if they are KO'd.

Management of Save DataPlayers can manage their save data by talking with the Wood Wailer expeditionary located in the South Shroud at Quarrymill (X:25.2 Y:20.6).

Resetting ProgressPlayers can reset their level and progression to floor 1. However, aetherpool arm and armor strength will carry over to the new file. This means players can reset and return to floor 1 to continue strengthening their weapons and gear if they have found that previous progression became too difficult.* Reset save data cannot be recovered.

Disbanding a Fixed PartyPlayers can convert fixed party saved data to matched party saved data. Aetherpool arm and armor strength will be carried over, but pomander information will be reset. Under these conditions you will be able to be matched with other players who are currently playing on the same floor as you.* If any members of a fixed party are unable to enter the Deep Dungeon after the deletion of save data or usage of the World transfer service, they must select "Disband your fixed party." to carry over their save data.

RewardsThe following rewards will be given based on the player's level and progress.

If your job or class is level 60 upon entering:Allagan tomestones and gil will be rewarded based on progress.

If your job or class is between levels 50 and 60 upon entering:Experience points, gil, and Allagan tomestones of poetics will be rewarded based on progress.* The Armory bonus will be applied to these rewards.

If job or class is under level 50 upon entering:Experience points and gil will be rewarded based on progress.If your job or class is under level 20 when entering and there is a novice and mentor in the party, the party/mentor experience bonus will apply.* The Armory bonus will be applied to these rewards.

If you have reached floor 50:A Gelmorran potsherd will be awarded. This item can be traded to the NPC E-Una-Kotor in the South Shroud at Quarrymill (X:25 Y:20.6).

Furthermore, if you have strengthened your aetherpool arm and aetherpool armor to +30 in addition to reaching floor 50 of the Palace of the Dead, you can receive an aetherpool arm to be used outside of the instance by speaking with the NPC E-Una-Kotor in the South Shroud (X:25.0 Y:20.6). The weapon received will be determined by your current class or job when speaking with E-Una-Kotor. Please note that by receiving this weapon, the strength of your aetherpool arm and armor inside the Palace of the Dead will be reset to 0.* The weapon's visual effect will not display in any gear previewing windows.* Updated 7/20/2016
